Update on Intro to Stats course at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

The initial course target at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is Stat 217 "Introduction to Statistical Concepts and Methods"; we have
also identified two other areas and gained faculty and administrative buy in to
use the materials in a Calculus course for Business students and in several
Architecture courses.

In Fall 2007 they have been developing baseline measures of
the effectiveness of the current course delivery method. In Winter and Spring they plan on doing the
assessment. Using this as a baseline
they will then be able to measure the impact of the changes they will implement
next Fall. In addition they have been
collaborating with Marsha Lovett at CMU to ensure they build on the research
done at CMU.
